Dear List,
I watched the TV program suggested by Terry H and waited for somebody to
say that coral reefs were sinks of CO2. Sure enough, about 10 minutes
in, the moderator, Robyn Williams, said just that. Now the other
participants quickly changed the subject to seagrass beds as sinks of
CO2, but nobody corrected the initial statement.
I thought we had put that bit of folklore to bed a long time ago.
Johon
